What is Traffic Controller Insurance?

Traffic controllers often work in high-risk environments, including roadworks, infrastructure upgrades, and civil construction projects. With exposure to moving vehicles, public interaction, and strict compliance requirements, it’s essential to have insurance that reflects the real risks on site.

Traffic Controller Insurance provides cover that standard business insurance usually won’t touch — including roadside incidents, injury to third parties, and site-related damage.

If you’re working under contract, most principal contractors will require you to have Public Liability Insurance and adequate coverage for equipment and crew.

Public Liability Insurance
This covers you if your work causes injury or damage to third parties. For example, if a member of the public is injured due to poor signage placement or incorrect traffic direction, this policy helps cover legal fees, medical costs, and compensation.

Professional Indemnity Insurance
If you’re issuing traffic management plans or conducting risk assessments, you may be held liable for errors or omissions. This policy protects you against claims arising from professional advice or certification.

Tools & Equipment Insurance
Covers portable signage, cones, radios, traffic lights, and other equipment used onsite. You’ll be covered for theft, accidental damage, and loss — whether from your ute, depot, or site.

Commercial Vehicle Insurance
If you use vehicles to tow signage trailers or transport crews and gear, you’ll want tailored vehicle cover for business use, including roadside assistance and replacement hire.

How to Get the Right Traffic Controller Insurance Policy

Know what’s excluded
Some policies won’t cover roadside risks, night work, or interaction with public traffic without specific endorsements. We help ensure your policy reflects the real-world risk.

Check your job description
The way you describe your services affects your cover. “Traffic control” vs “construction labourer” can change what’s covered. We help you get it right.

Subcontractor extensions
Do you work with subbies? Some policies won’t extend cover to others under your supervision unless requested. We’ll flag this upfront.

Equipment and vehicles
Most generic policies don’t include traffic-specific equipment or signage trailers. We make sure these are included or correctly scheduled.
